Through a strange twist of fate, I connected again with Kalabird one of the first ex-pat bloggers from Cambodia that I discovered in 2005 because of her amazing photographs in flickr. So, she graciously agreed to participate in our panel and do a quick interview for me so I could "pro blog it" for BlogHer.

Geoff Livingston invited me to keynote the conference along with Shel Israel , author of Twitterville. This is just a sampling.

But when I realized it would take a long time before a small NGO working in a country, like say, Cambodia, might be able to purchase a small number of them (less than 100) to outfit a school, I was disappointed. Virginia Debolt who covers the technology beat at BlogHer has a great roundup of the reactions. Tharum was disappointed too.

I have watched Buddhist monks pray at Ta Prohm in Cambodia. Ta Prohm Temple, Angkor, Cambodia Seriously awesome, right? Some of my greatest memories are off the worksite. I have danced with an entire village in Ghana. I have watched the sun set as I sailed the Nile on a felucca. Yet it goes deeper than an exotic location.

I think it was more intense than a Westerner's culture shock visiting Cambodia for the first time. First, there was a lot of energy in the room, similar to the blogher , because a lot of people had been reading each other's blogs or posts on GV, but had never met face-to-face.
